My Mistake Is That I Thought Everyone Would Remember Me As I Remembered Them

Marguerite Duras, from The Lover

Text ID: I think I'm beginning to see my life. I think I can already say, I have a vague desire to die. From now on I treat that word and my life inseparable.

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you realize that within Julian’s first lecture we are witness to he speaks of Tiberius, a flawed Emperor held in disdain by his people, partially on the account he followed Augustus- a savior, a god. He spent his life striving to life up to his predecessors name and when he couldn’t, he indulged his perversions in an effort to feel something, but ultimately “died, old and mad, lost in the pleasure gardens of Capri: not even happy there, as one might hope, but miserable.”

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you realize that just like Tiberius tried to follow in Augustus’s footsteps, Henry tried to follow in Julian’s. You see Richard’s focus shift from Julian- who was at first a savior, a god- to Henry, a flawed student of his who, at his end, is held in disdain by the majority of his closest friends and is lost in the indulgence of his own perversions- his attempts (and, arguable, success) to finally live without thinking.

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you get to the part where Richard asks Henry in his dream, “are you happy here?” And Henry responds, “Not particularly” and you realize that Henry, like Tiberius, had never known peace or happiness in life and certainly not in death and you were warned about it in Julian’s first lecture.

You ever think about the reason why Nico was the first person to find camp Jupiter and why he gets along with the Romans so well is because he’s Italian and could very well be a Roman legacy. Taking suggestions on what his legacy parent would be.

No but Nico is going to be down BAD in S3. This really cool kid saves him and his sister from a monster?? And he’s kinda cute?? AND he’s into the same card game that Nico is obsessed with?? And this girl he seems really close to just fell off a cliff?? So he asks if she was his girlfriend and he says no?? He’s going to have a field day

what i saw when i opened pinterest

just learned that humans might have evolved smaller pupils and irises/more whites of our eyes so that it's easier for other humans to tell where we're looking as a way of communicating sudden threats. and now i'm thinking of every time i have been frantically giving my friend a Look to get out of an uncomfortable situation (or been on the receiving end). still using it to communicate sudden threats only this time his name is kyle

Unreal Unearth is for those that are feral and ravenous and filled with unbearable yearning, those that love Greek mythology and Irish folklore and Dante's divine comedy, those that believe in the cruelty of the world and the love of the people in it, those that love and hurt and live and die
